Williams +175 looks good to me. Selby will not be able to play generic safeties and will be forced to take some chances.

Wilson +190 might have some value IMO. Robertson better obv but Wilson should be able to keep it close.

Bingham/McGill -140/+115 looks about right.

Trump close to a lock but -400 too short.

Williams down 0-2 early. He makes a 4 ball plant after Selby safety.

Williams down 2-6. Missed a few relatively easy middle pocket chances and Selby pounced. Selby then missed an easy shot in frame 6 and Williams gave it right back with a bad safety.

An amusing end to the session: Williams, who is a notoriously quick player, used the rest to pocket the yellow in rotation in frame 8, then proceeded to use the rest for 3 more shots to expedite play when it was obvious he did not need it. To hit the blue he needed to put the rest on the outside rail. Even Selby was entertained.

I really wish I put more on Selby now at 6.5-1. Assuming he beats Williams he can't lose that semi over 35 frames.

Trump isn't quite there imo and as they are playing id fancy Selby against him, and the same if Selby plays Robertson. The question is whether Trump can raise his game a tiny bit. I really hope so.

At one point in today's match Selby was at 98% pot success rate. If he keeps playing at that level nobody will beat him.

He looks the clear favourite, esp given the semi final draw.

I swear, if Murphy beats Trump then seeing Selby play either Wilson or Murphy is going to be such an anti-climax.

GO TRUMP!

Oh feck. Selby V Wilson in the final probably. Other than Higgins being in there that's the worst possible for me.

Don't mind Wilson but Selby is up there with Ebdon as the most boring player ever.

Ronnie, Trump, Robbo, Higgins all disappointing. Wiliams first great and then lost it. Selby been unplayable, I like the guy and appreciate the game, but yea not most entertaining. Wilson, Mcgill, Bingham and Murphy been good.

Selby gonna win it, thou I hope Bingham can give him a game. Some of his stuff was superb, but then missed half a dozen easy ones on frame balls.

Frame 8 Bingham had a straightforward safety/snooker but played for the middle right pot instead and missed, basically giving Selby the frame. He's been taking chances and doing ok but he won frame 6 from a Selby mistake. Time to let his opponent feel the heat IMO.

Bingham was fuming all session lololol. Selby played his worst and was leading 3-1. Bingham was cruising to 2-0 but missed an easy blue and then made bad shots on a close frame (selbys winner was class thou). Then next frames Bingham made more easy mistakes, but between them was many great pots. His A-game is incredible and potting is superb (and has to rely on that as cue ball not on a string), but then mixes in easy mistakes in potting. And after those collapses to poor safeties. So all in all makes for great viewing! Hope he can keep up the runs of great play, could be close if that continues + makes fewer easy mistakes + selby doesnt find full form. Many ifs yea.

Selby loses first 2 frames of evening session, then is put on the clock when he takes nearly 3 minutes for a shot.

Frame 19 Selby misses 2 makeable blues to close out frame. He later fouls, forced to play a bad safety, then Bingham pots pink and black to win frame.

Selby almost pots cue ball on break off, then next shot fouls off pink on a bad safety. Needs to regroup.
